"Flops"? What other forum did you drag that little gem from?
There's a graph on this thread showing GAFs prediction for Gran Turismo Sport's metascore: 78.3. It sounds like it might be accurate.

Yep, GT had only 1 flavor, Driving.

To be fair they don't have a real life counterpart with an exterior either. I think they should go the black cockpit route for those VGTs, but IDK.

Wait, what now? My last Gran Turismo game was GT3 and I was an addict...and a big part of the reason I enjoyed it was being able to upgrade and change out parts to change how the cars drove and handled.
Is that still a thing or no?
MC/OC sitting at 78, around where I figured it'd land (about an 8 avg). Will be interesting to see how I feel about this one. 3 was the pinnacle for me, Forza has become boring, so it seems my only hope is that I click with the online. If not, shit, might just have to play Wipeout instead. LOL

An online focused game that had been marketed as such from day one comes out and predictably people bitch about it being online focused, the scores after GT5 is expected. It is a feature lite game, but going by history it will be well supported and probably a year from now be a feature rich game. This is the Rainbow Six Siege or hell even the GT5 situation over again. Anyways, these scores were expected, expect more ignorant reviews incoming, if you enjoy racing games and you enjoyed the demo, buy it and enjoy your game, reviews are becoming less and less important these days.

You can tune (suspensions, gears, aero etc). You can't randomly fit turbos to every car.

Content is literally the same thing than in previous games except that, this time around its all about the "sport" component, aka the competitive aspect with probably the best online experience out there
Not sure why it sucks

While you can still tweak a ton of what goes on in the car, you're not adding body kits or turbo kits. You can still increase performance, though, allowing the car to qualify and race in a range of classes.

Yeah that's my thinking as well, there is nothing that can fully replace GT, Forza may come close but it's no proper GT for fans of GT.
What a dismissive attitude. They obviously still matter... just look at how big this thread is already, and most of the big outlets haven't even chimed in. I want ACG's take.

Me and lots of others told you guys it's going to be amazing after the beta. Not surprised by the scores.

I'm sure GT7 will alleviate your worries.

any car. You can't exchange parts. Period. (unless you count "exchange front spring with 30kN/m spring rate for springs with 50KN/m spring rate")
[and it's the right move for the game they are trying to make]
No on replacing parts etc, but you can still tweak everything like suspension, brakes, transmission etc (and you can save different configs for each car)

But Yamauchi wants us to believe that this is a main entry.

It's been playing great since midnight, I recommend everyone checks it out.
Because it is.

This is a valid point. Honestly I feel if this was called GT:Online Edition reviews would probably be higher.
Maybe even better if it was 10 cheaper. To acknowledge it is not a feature complete package from a single player perspective.

Reviews do not matter much to established franchises, smaller titles and upstart franchises maybe but not games that people are going to buy regardless. GT is a game people buy regardless, GTS will end up selling more than GT6 but probably below GT5's 11 million. The franchise moves units regardless of review scores.

alrightey. Disappointing, but that won't dissuade my purchase. Thanks, folks.

And because of that it's very disappointing.

Seems to be the direction it's taken. GTS is a smaller, focused, online based game. None of the old fluff is there, it's about driving now more than anything.

That 78 is with only 4 reviews on metacritic so far though, lots more to add before the score is final.

That isnt what he was saying. Dont pull that BS, he was clearly talking about the writing.

Hasnt the franchise been on a decline recently? Gran Turismo 6 was at like 5 million or something. GT4 was at like 18 million. So 18>11>5 (Am I wrong on the numbers?) EDIT: GT4 11.8m, not 18m
Could be attributed to a number of things. Decline of racing genre, more quality competitors, quality of franchise, release date & platform, bundles etc But you cant be sure that review scores hasnt effected it when it has sold less than 13 million from two entries prior in the franchise

Did you play it?
2 previous games, for comparison
GTS is 78 at the moment on MC (but only 4 review so far)

Is there a reason why they decided to start all over? Even the premium cars from PS3 days that they claim would hold up(and I think they would) are gone now right? I'm trying to figure out how T10 can crap out forza games every 2 years(and outside of 5, Good ones at that) but PD(the gawds) can't. Also this still could have had a traditional career mode, Tales from my ass but I'd imagine they had enough time she money to implement a proper one if they wanted too.

You guys get so offended about a game. I didn't pull anything and wrote on what I thought he meant. Please don't attack me in this manner. It's not that big of a deal - it's just a game.
Agreed wholeheartedly

Yeah, it's not that this game is bad, I understand what it's trying to do. I'm just salty that it doesn't appeal to a casual scrub like myself. I love career modes and earning tons of cars.
It doesnt seem to be getting amazing scores. In video game terms a 78 on MC is decent at best

This is so silly. With GT5/6 the fans were complaining it didnt evolve and was exactly the same as it always was. Many fans were saying GT5 should have only had the 200 premium cars and the standards were not needed, saying they should focus on quality over quantity. Now theyve done that and people want it to be exactly how it was pretty much. This is why I couldnt care less about what people say in GT threads.
It should have been obvious it wasnt their view that he was calling ridiculous. Its almost IGN too much water bad.
Premium cars don't really hold up. Back then they didn't account for tessellation or PBR. There was a nice comparison in the face-off thread.
Campaign is never been a matter of time (lol) or money, they want you to try online racing.

GT4 sold 11.8 million... GT5 sold 12 million and GT3 sold 14.9 million... GT6 5.2 million.
You are way off on the numbers because 18 million is something out of this world

Rushed reviews usually benefit more in the Forza case, as often the 10 and 9 come first and the low scores later, lowering its average in the days/weeks. In the GT case is the contrary and the average score starts low but slowly increase when later reviews grow. At least that is what I have noticed in the past. Makes you think if Forza games are crafted and delivered with the press sympathy (scores) in mind, and GT can't care less about them and it focus in the game and player's sympathy (sales). I mean not open servers to reviewers, many important features and content added after the reviews, no info given about the future of the game expansion or online plans that would for sure richen the reviews and up the scores, etc.
Anyway reviews these days are a joke. GT games are unique in the sense that appears only after a bunch of years, have a top notch craftmanship and are the top sellers of the genre but many reviewers don't even try.

Do i need to play it in order to know that it has lackluster Single Player content when compared to previous main entries?

Most of the reviewers seem to like it. It's getting some negative points because of stuff like the online saves and content, but the core game seems to be a success.

I will never, ever not be salty about GT6 not getting a remaster. Since GT is through a semi reboot and with Sony being all about remasters, I wonder if we can still get them to do a remaster for GT6. Sport wouldn't make it pointless since it's taking the series in a different direction. If they can fund DC and not name it Gran Turismo just because some guy said no (even though the game would have done a trillion times better off the GT name alone), Sony can give us a GT6 remaster. Should have gave us that instead of throwing money down the drain on GR remaster and GR2.

Yeah, because you might accidentally enjoy what it's offering.
Id say its more about driving competitively and less about driving how you want to.
I used to like going off the track and doing donuts and then blowing by everyone and taking first.
I liked pulling the e brake and crashing through the finish line.
I liked ramming into other cars.
Now theres not a way to play towards any meaningful progression unless its just clean racing without being penalized.
This should be the OT title and quoted on every page.

I'm sure that what is IN the game is of high quality. It's just that the amount of content isn't nowhere near enough to be referred as a main GT game.
